study group
«plankton ecosystems»
The study group program will take place within the framework of «Plankton Ecosystems», a ProHelvetia Synergies project, that Riikka Tauriainen is organizing in the context of the EcoArtLab. As part of Riikka's studies, the focus is on participatory and collective learning, which is directly related to Riikka's interest in organizing a study group and exchanging about these encounters, rather than thinking of research as an isolated practice:
„Participants in the group do not need to have the same area of expertise, but should have an interest in learning from each other. The idea is to share our practices in order to gain new methodologies, perspectives and approaches, and to forge networks of common ground. The connecting element is an interest in ecological issues and social justice in transdisciplinary practices, which I call relational ecologies.“ – Riikka Tauriainen
